Television in Australia is rubbish, repeats of repeats, news programs all day long.
no children’s tV except on ABC sub channels.
TV in Australia is insulting with show like BIG BANG Theory, I am a celebrity get me out of here, gogglebox, bold and beautiful etc.
As for Australian content and light entertainment there is no, imagine classing news programs as light entertainment with Karl and Kochie. TV was much better in the 60’s and 70’s better entertainment Australian content programs.
we suffer all this rubbish and we can’t get the World Cup of Cricket, we have seen one game since it started. Channel Nine brigs you the World Cup of Cricket, WHEN?
an absolute joke and so is Australian TV, thank goodness for a my shed and Curtin Radio. Lift your game Aus TV
